Chapter 80: Snot Wads

I jumped over the rail and dove into the water with the white nylon-like rope trailing behind me. I pierced the water, but the air made swimming a bit awkward, but I would be okay. I could see the wrecks of ships everywhere, this was really a graveyard for the ones that didn't get away.

I swam back up to the surface and grabbed fresh air and then dropped down to catch up with the other three that were already swimming down. I would be interested to go take a look at them one day, who knows what could have been left behind!

I caught up to Gloria and we swam to the glowing coral reef. The reef itself wasn't glowing, and as we got closer I could see that it was bell-shaped crystals that were glowing different colors.

I had never seen gems so beautiful. The way the gems were shaped like bells made them look like crystallized roses. Time for my plan, hopefully, these would be the same as the crystals that we found in the dungeon.

'Gobby, can you hear me?'

"Yeah, K, I'm here. The saltwater has me all wrinkled like a raisin and I look worse than normal so I have been staying hidden! But hurrah on getting some of the memories back! You can swim! Again! Woo!" Gobby said from my arm as a smaller version of his eye rolled down it.

Gobby and walked back up my arm and then up to my back, but he looked wrinkled like a raisin and he was a light muddy red. His feet were sticking to me and the water current didn't seem to bother him.

'How many of those gems do you think you can fit in you?'

"Nope, they are just crystallized booger spit with phosphorescent bugs trapped inside. They are just like really fancy pearls, so if I eat it, it will just become a snack," Gobby said from behind me. "But, I can eat one of the snot wads, or they might eat me. Either way, I will prove to be some sort of distraction!"

That was something, but we didn't want to kill the Flexil or there would be fewer Gems Hearts created. I had to wonder what the uses there were for them, but we were getting close now so I needed to concentrate on the task at hand.

I unhooked my air bottle and took in a deep breath of air, but it was gross. I would have to figure out something in the future for the others, but this would work for now.

The Flexil Fish above all float on the top of the water above, and I could see that some had Gem Hearts growing slowly inside of them. I looked over at the other three and they all nodded and we all quickly went and found some.

They were spaced out so it wasn't wise to grab more than one, but I had been putting my eyes to work while thinking. I had found a group of three and there was the size of a tropical grapefruit that was one of the ingredients to the flavor of Candi's blood.

I grabbed the three and hugged them in and took another stale breath of air. I shook the line and looked up to see the Flexil was already descending on me and the others, but they were already being pulled back.

I felt the jerk and leaned back to reach my free hand up and grabbed the line. That helped me stay straight and I started to pick up speed. We all were keeping ahead of them and now we were slowly pulling away.

Suddenly, some of the Flexil Fish started to streak at Tim, but he threw two daggers into the closest one. The daggers were more like thrown rock and they only disintegrated, but they did slow the speed and that was what mattered.

I looked up and I could see the boat getting closer, but I could also see that the sky was starting to get very dark and we had to sail straight into it. Tim had thrown a couple more knives to stop the ones that were getting too close, but they had mostly given up.

I could no longer see the ocean floor and the water was getting very dark as we were finally pulled up and out of the water. There was a rope net that was dropped off the side and once the four of us grabbed on, another winch could be heard clicking as we were finally pulled up onto the deck.

Lesha was the first over to me, taking the gem from me and running them over to a large tub. I got up and walked over as I felt the rain only just start, but it was not playing around.

The tub was filled with a thick green jelly-like substance, and I watched Lesha gently drop the crystals in. Then there to the ones the other brought over and came to stand by me, but she was looking on my back.

"K, there is something gross on your back!" Lesha exclaimed poking Gobby's wrinkled body that was stuck to my back.

"No that is just Gobby," I said.

"Yeah, it is!" Gobby shouted out, and I felt him lifting from my back.

*Smack!*

"Sorry!" Lesha said from behind me.

I could no longer feel him on my back and I turned to find Lesha staring at her now bloody hand. I looked around, but Gooby was gone, just what happened?

"I am sorry K, he jumped out as my and I slapped him off the boat!" Lesha said with tears in her eyes, but I smiled at her.

"Probably for the best, I will summon him again when we need him. Cheer up love, if he gets too far from me he will auto unsummon. Then I can just call him back whenever we want, but he can have a break right now or whatever it is he does when he isn't here."


Chapter 81: Storm Caller

The storm was starting to pick up as we sailed back but we still had to travel two hours to get back, and it was already lunch. Lesha was standing with me at the bow of the ship, as we stared out into the open sea with the storm assaulting us.

"Can we go inside now? We don't need to be out here, and the waves are starting to swell. Don't you think it would be safer inside?" Lesha pulled the treated canvas coat closer around us.

"I saw something out there, and I want to see if I can see it again. When the lightning flashed, I saw a tall figure that almost reached the clouds. It looked like a person, but it was far too big," I said while staring out, trying to pierce the darkness with my eyes, but the rain made my eyes not really much better than anyone else's.

"That the Storm Caller! Come on inside and I will tell you about it!" Braum called to us from the lower deck.

I turned with Lesha and then slipped out of the coat, letting the rain buffet me. I went down the stairs, giving Lesha my hand as she stepped down, but I had to catch her as the ship dipped.

"Thank you," Lesha said with a cute smile as I helped her stand up straight.

We both followed Braum inside the cabin hall and headed back to the room we had changed in. Braum let us go inside first and then pulled the boys out so we could get changed, but once we were done I called them back inside.

"So, I have a couple of questions. I have knowledge of the sea and such things to do with it, but I have never seen that green jello you put the Gem Hearts into, what is it?" I asked as I sat down on one of the three wooden benches with Lesha.

"Sure, I will help you where I can, but I thought after your big speech there was nothing that we could tell you that you didn't already know, haha!" Braum joked with a laugh, taking a seat on the bench that the boys sat on.

The four other girls were sitting on the last bench, but they were all just cuddling up for warmth. The drop in temperature wasn't horrible, but mixed with the wind and rain, it was getting a bit chilly.

"As I said, I know about the water and the things in it, but I don't know things that are specific...to this world? I don't know how to explain it, but none of the past experiences that I can remember have anything to do with this world we are in," I said, but the part about the worlds had just come out, and I didn't really understand what it meant.

Where were the other worlds? Places like this? Entire worlds filled with completely different people? The thought was almost staggering.

"Worlds? Hmm, that is strange. The way you talk reminds me of the gods, but you were born here, right? Over in that far mountain range, right?" Braum asked, but it sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than me.

"Yes, I have lived there my entire life, so I don't know where these memories are from. Regardless, I want to know what the Storm Caller is. That thing only appeared in a lightning strike."

"Yes, but first the jelly, we got a bit side-tracked, and to tell you the truth, I still have many questions for you. The Acrid Gel is an acid-based gel that cures and hardens the Gem Hearts. I can guess that you have never seen one before this so you wouldn't know. After they are cleaned the bell falls off of them, and they are a heart shape and then get a cloudy coating that has to be buffed off," Braum explained.

"So, that's why we have to pay to get them cleaned," Lesha said in realization.

"Yeah, and without the Acrid Gel, the Gem Hearts would break very easily. If one breaks, nothing short of dirt or moisture will stop the gel that comes out. The Flexil Gel is more corrosive than the actual fish, so you need to be very careful when handling them, and NOT touch them together," Braum said, looking directly at me, and I looked away with a small smile, but the point was not lost on me.

I could have broken one of them and done serious damage to myself or even death. I looked back up at Braum and gave him a nod that said I understood my mistake.

"Good. Now, the Storm Caller is a myth, and most just think it's an illusion. Still, some believe that it is real. I personally believe it has to be real because it only showed up when the gods did. The biggest problem is that when it's spotted, it's never in the same place, and those that try to find it, never come back," Braum said with finality.

"Well, that will just have to be put on the to-do list. Do you think that we will have trouble getting back in this storm? It doesn't seem that bad, but I don't know what your crew is like."

"Don't worry, these boys will get us back to port! Fifteen years on this old bird and she hasn't touched bottom yet! Do worry, we are staying close as we can to the coast and there are no cliffs around here so the water is so good to get us back. I just might take us a bit longer than usual," Braum explained as he stood back up and walked to the door, but then he turned back to Corbit. "Come on boy, let's go do some training."

"Training? I asked looking at Corbit, who was starting to look green.

"Yes, to use this Mana stuff. I still don't really get it, but I have figured out ways to improve it. Why? You and the little one want to come and learn? I can smell that sweet berry smell coming from the two of you, so if you want to come and join us!" Braum said, motioning for Mei and me to follow.
